LELAND | The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying two men who robbed the Fairhaven Mini Mart of about $100 Wednesday night.

The two men entered the store at 9404 Walker St. at 9:23 p.m., according to sheriff's spokeswoman Emily Flax.

One of the men, described as black, 5-foot-7 and in his early 20s, was armed with a handgun, Flax said. That man held a customer back while the second man, described as black, about 5-foot-10 and in his late twenties, demanded money from the cashier, Flax said.

The suspects, who were wearing black clothing and masks, left the store on foot and traveled in an unknown direction, she said.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked by the sheriff's office to contact Detective Mike Murray at 253-2828 or 880-4942.
